Life
Saints Valentine and Hilary were a priest and his deacon, beheaded at Viterbo near Rome in the persecution of Diocletian, around 304. They are saints of the undivided Church, known from the Western calendars. The sources consulted say no more of their lives. The calendars commemorate on the same day Saint Valentinian, bishop of Salerno around 500, who is a different person.
They are commemorated on 3 November, the liturgical date in the Orthodox calendar (the same day number on the old and new calendars).
